Listed here are typical installation directions for an ONAN 5500 Gas/Diesel/Propane with a generator wiring harness that is 8-pin.
Note: For action 7 you will need to buy 14-gauge electric cable for the run from our ShorePower track to your transfer switch.
STEP ONE:
Turn-off your generator AC circuit breakers to prevent disruption of shore energy solution during testing and installation of ShorePower track.
STEP TWO:
Recognize the following 4 cables in your generator wiring harness.
Make use of label or tape to mark each cable so that you won’t forget which wire is which.
- A – Ground – Brown
- B – Stop – Green
- C – Start – Red
- E – Run – Orange
The wires are labeled on the harness as follows on a typical ONAN 10-pin wiring harness
- A – Ground
- C – Begin
- E – Stop
- F – Run
NOTE: The pin connections above are typical ONAN connections. Only a few ONAN generators have actually the exact same generator wiring harness connections as some was changed because of the dealer or RV maker. Make sure you have actually precisely identified the 4 wires precisely before proceeding with step three.
STEP THREE:
Connect one Posi-Tap to each associated with 4 cables identified in step two.
STEP FOUR:
Result in the connection through the ShorePower track to your Posi-Taps (wiring harness) according to the wiring diagram supplied.
- Green cable to E AVOID
- Red cable to C START
- Brown cable to A GROUND
- Orange cable to FRUN
Remember to link the correct cables to the wiring harness even as we utilize red-colored cables more often than once.
On our installation photo we utilized wires that are white expand towards the harness as a result of location of our device. The closer the installation of y our device towards the wiring harness will assist you to make use of the provided 4-foot wire length we offer.
ACTION 5:
- Connect the red cable from the ShorePower Monitor (I3) to a single region of the enable switch making use of the provided Posi-Lock or a crimp connector.
- Link the 2nd red cable (supplied in the zip-lock case) to another region of the switch that is enable. One other end for this wire that is red ultimately get in touch to your good battery pack terminal.
STEP 6:
- Connect the red cable through the enable switch while the red cable from (L+) from the ShorePower track to your +12 VDC (good battery terminal).
- Link the black colored wire (M) in the ShorePower track to ground (any steel on the RV).
ACTION 7:
Through the ShorePower Monitor Power Converter ( See diagram that is wiring – Transfer Switch Connection):
You will need 14-gauge stranded electrical cable for the run from our product to your transfer switch.
- Connect (L) on our MeanWell Power Converter to at least one part of this 110 Volts in the transfer switch.
- Link the (N) on our MeanWell Power Converter towards the center connection (common) regarding the transfer switch
ACTION 8:
The ShorePower track & the MeanWell Power Converter should both have their light that is green ON if all of the cables, such as the cables to your transfer switch, have already been properly linked. .
- To check the machine turn the ENABLE Switch ON and disconnect from coast energy. The light that is green the MeanWell is certainly going down and in roughly 20 moments our product will auto-start your generator.
- Let generator run for around a minute then re-connect to shore energy and our device will immediately shut-off your generator in more or less 10-12 moments. The light that is green the MeanWell can come back on.
ESSENTIAL NOTE: switching the ENABLE CHANGE On or OFF will not impact the green light on the ShorePower Monitor or MeanWell. Those two light will always be on IF the ShorePower Monitor is properly connect and you have shore power. The ENABLE CHANGE just allows or disables monitoring.
This is exactly what a set-up that is typical seem like as soon as it is completed. You will see other client installation photos by clicking right right here.
